The Power of Storytelling

Heather Pratt White

Description

Storytelling is an ancient and universal art, captivating children like nothing else. Used for centuries as a primary communication tool to pass along important lessons or simply to entertain, stories hold a unique power. Within the Montessori curriculum, we harness the art of storytelling to introduce ideas, teach new concepts, and reinforce or extend lessons. In this session tailored for parents and new Montessori guides of children aged 3-6 and 6-12, we will explore the enchantment of storytelling, uncovering its value for both children and adults. We’ll delve into common Montessori examples of rich, engaging stories.
